NAD+-dependent Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (NAD+-IDH) could be one of the cell phone radiation targets. Enzyme activity alteration may lead to decline in sperm motility during radio-frequency electromagnetic waves (RF-EMW) exposure. The current case control study aimed to investigate the possible relationship between mitochondrial NAD+-IDH activity in human seminal plasma and sperm motility among ...

Chronic alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking adversely affect male reproductive health. This work highlights the influence of both on the sperm quality of infertile male partners. This prospective study was conducted on semen samples of alcoholics(Group1), smokers-(Group2), habit of both-(Group-3), controls-(Group4). Samples were analysed following WHO guidelines including the percentage o...

This study is aimed at establishing the effects of varying sperm quality on IVF-ICSI/IMSI outcomes in unexpected poor ovarian responder subjects POSEIDON groups 1 and 2. In present study, 1,263 couples with female partners who fulfilled group 2 criteria were recruited. All underwent ICSI or IMSI Morula IVF Jakarta Clinic, Indonesia. Patients subsequently classified into six groups, according to...

Deletion of the gene encoding the widely conserved plasma membrane calcium ATPase 4 (PMCA4), a major Ca(2+) efflux pump, leads to loss of sperm motility and male infertility in mice. PMCA4's partners in sperm and how its absence exerts its effect on fertility are unknown. We hypothesize that in sperm PMCA4 interacts with endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and neuronal nitric oxide synthas...

BACKGROUND To develop and validate a simple and reliable high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the analysis of free L-carnitine in human seminal plasma and to investigate its clinical significance as a potentially additional means of evaluating the infertile male. METHODS After proteins in seminal plasma are precipitated with a mixture of acetonitrile and methanol (9:1; v/...

Infertility is the not getting pregnant, despite of having carefully timed, unprotected sex for one year.Various environmental and biological factors affect sperm count in males. Oligozoospermia means low Azoospermia complete absence sperms main cause male infertility term can be correlate with KsheenaShukra andNirbeeja /Ashukra respectively. There no satisfactory treatment modern medicine this...

a:4:{s:9:"Objective";s:402:"Uric acid (UA) is crucial for sperm metabolism; it protects seminal plasma against oxidative damage. Zinc, too, plays a central role in sperm metabolism. The current study was designed to investigate the role of zinc supplementation on the qualitative and quantitative properties of seminal fluid, in parallel with the UA level and urate pathway enzymes in the semen of...
